(OOC I’m assuming comm crystals were not taken from them. Setting a way to bring Krodnok into the convo.)
Lalder had ordered his tribesmen to work to restore the fleet as soon as possible. Working on the Carrier first, and moving Lur Union Fighters inside where they can be worked on. But more important, the fighters didn’t have to be finished to leave or fight. With the Carrier being Space worthy, that also meant that it could survive underwater. Lalder would have as many of his allies aboard in case the ship needed to leave.
He had left Krodnoks crystal with Lurtor, so that he could communicate cleanly with the dead while overhearing Lalder’s conversation. And if Lalder needed to know something, Lurtor could relay it.
Lurtor responds to Krodnok "Not well. This is Lurtor. They managed to activate the factory fully and disabled all the ships. They are letting us repair them it seems with the intent to let us leave, I’m sure to cause more havoc throughout the world. They win on that either way.
The talks are going in circle with this Caretaker as he calls himself. He’s a greater demon of the warmonger or something. I’m listening in through a commcrystal Lalder is holding.
Right now there is talks going on to resolve this. It bounces between good and bad. There is talk of everyone leaving, including Unit 111, Unit 7756. But that would also require you to leave as well. But I doubt that is a real offer.
Do you have any ability to help here, provide cover? Or do you think you should send a representative? The Caretaker knows of you, where your forces are, and is trying to twist your help or benefit from this against us."
Lurtor to Lalder “on the comm now.”
